Borgo Conventi Sauvignon
Collio DOC, Friuli Venezia Giulia
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow in color it displays lively greenish shades. On the nose it is vibrant, very complex and characteristic. The aromas of green pepper, tomato leaf and hard peach perfectly complement the floral scents, the mineral note of flint, and the slight hints of clary sage. This wine is elegant, has a good backbone and a long aromatic finish.
Food Pairings
Flavor-rich starters, asparagus-based risottos and frittatas, grilled or fried fish, crustaceans, and white-meat dishes.
Winemaking Notes
Fermentation: The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the day, followed by light crushing and temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks for ten days. A variably small percentage of selected grapes undergoes cold maceration before light crushing.
Aging: Once fermentation is completed the wine remains on the fine lees until spring, when it is bottled.
